What does Akkad smell like?

Akkad leans clearly towards fall and winter; most voters pick those two seasons, with spring well behind and summer last. It sits closest to evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure time. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Masculine and feminine votes are almost level, so it moves between the two. Perfumes with a close profile include Parfums Vintage Sandal Amber and Profumum Roma Patchouly.

The top notes of clary sage, Italian bergamot and Italian mandarin orange give a brief lift. In the heart, elemi resin, cardamom, frankincense and styrax pull the scent towards smoky, spicy, earthy ground. The base of patchouli, amber, labdanum and vanilla takes over, drying down sweet, woody and oriental.
